Wilander was the first player who truly broke me. I beat Becker 14-12 in a fifth set, I beat Kuerten in a 5th set after losing the first two and saving match points in the 3rd, 4th and 5th sets, and then against Wilander I quickly went up 2-0, and lost in 5 after having match points in every remaining set, and serving for it god knows how many times.

The same thing happened against Connors.

now i remember where i heard about this game
you mentioned it somewhere and i looked for it. good find!
as i'm not one of the "top spin 4" guys i usually play only this when i have 10 min.

damn this Wilander. and clay is the most frustrating to win on.
hard court is the most fun to play on, and grass is mostly ace race..
Aggassi? way to go!
the problem with this game that it makes me all sweaty while at work

My fingers get tied up too easily :lol:

Against most of these guys serve and volley works well but against Agassi it's just impossible! I'm tempted to look for codes online and skip to Sampras to see how I do. I'm able to triple bagel Goran now, but I'd imagine Sampras will be a different challenge altogether :shock:

yea i did that already cause i didn't remember one of the codes.
but i go by the book
i wanna win fair and square.

you know, i really appreciate what they did in this rather simple game's moves.
i like the ability to control a really deep shot and right afterwards do a kind of a short side volley
BUT- where the hell is Federer?!

if they could only make an 2 player on-line version then we could really talk business !

A while ago I played this religiously, I figured a few shortcuts out like jumping up on their services and constantly serving up the T, so I've finished the game.

But after firing it back up again, I've got awful rusty, struggling against Cash.

i don't know, it depends... the surface really makes a lot of difference on strategy. most of the time, going up the net at the right moment is best.
but as it grows harder, especially on clay, they start to outsmart you...

i also hate it when they figure out your serve and start hitting return winners

Yesh, that's how to win against Sampras. Every serve down the T and returning very close to the service line, and if somehow you have to play a rally, immediately go to the net.

On grass, that's a good strategy. Winning on hard court isn't too difficult if you know how to play from the baseline and if you know how to finish it at the net. Clay is a different story, you really have to come to the net - but only at the right times. That's probably why Borg is so hard...

i'm currently stuck at Lendl on clay.
clay is the hardest to win on 'cause serves lose all their effect.
best way is to cut to the net at exactly the right moment, but f0cking Lendl manage to outmaneuver me at the end.

Just lost to Wilander 2-6, 5-7, 3-6 after going up 2-0 in the first set and 4-0 in the second. Then there were multiple games where I would be up 40-0 and just lose it. I'm still trying to figure out exactly why I do this, because this is something that happens to me in a bunch of other videogames and real life tennis as well

screen capture or it didn't happen !
**** you beat me to it. good for you.
so, how was it? and what's the best strategy that helped you win crucial points?

I was camping at the net..
Just go to the net. On your serve, serve at the T, he will return it then you should hit the ball deep in the center and when he is about to hit the ball, go to the net...
On his serve return deep to any of side and go to the net...
It worked for me
